In the senior division for ages 14-18, Mary Anna Childers of Cherokee County placed first with her presentation “The Art of Flower Arranging.”
Evie Martell of York County placed second and Hennelly Gavin of Lexington County placed third.
Avery Smith of York County won the junior division with her presentation about recognizing and responding to colic in horses. Liza Shaw of Newberry County placed second and Sabrina Lindsay of Spartanburg County placed third.
Senior 4-H’er Evie Martell says the Presentations Contest is her favorite 4-H event of the year. “I think the biggest secret to success is just to relax and realize you are in a room of people that want you to do well. Let your passion show through and get excited about your topic,” she says.
